40 to Village Assessments.
Attorney General Clapp has rendered an
opinion affecting village assessments, and
holds that under . recent decision of the
cept as to road purposes. should be as
sessed as part OF the town property. pro-
vided that the village has not been made
separate election district under the cleo.
ton law OF last winter. The decision 10 AZ
follows:
Under the recent decision of the suprem.
court OF this state, villages Incorporated
not, by action of the town board Of su-
pervisors, under the provisions of the gen.
eral election law OF last winter, been
made separate election districts are not
separate election districts for village pur-
poses. In view of this construction of tho
law and In tho absence OF any statutory
provision taking the village out and apart
from the town, except for road purposes,
l am inclined to think that tho su-
property OF tho village. except
az to road purposes. shall be
assessed as part of the town property;
that is, at least. except in cases where un-
der the provisions OF the election law OF
last winter, the village may have been
mace by the town board q separate elec-
ton district. am not prepared to say
what the effect of such action would be,
but in tho absence of that action I am
quite firmly OF the opinion that villages
incorporated under the general law Of this
state, except as to road matters. should
be assessed as a part Of the town.
